4 As you sing uncover your heads,1 and behave your selves in comely reverence, as in the sight of God, singing to God, in Gods own words. But be sure that the matter makes more melody in your hearts, 2then the Music in your ears: for ⟨p. 466⟩the singing with a grace in our hearts, is that which the Lord is delighted withal, according to that olde verse: Non vox, sed votum, non musica chordula, sed cor: Non clamans, sed amans, psallit in aure Dei. T'is not the voice, but vow: Sound hart, not sounding string: True zeal, not outward show, That in Gods ear doth ring.
